Agnes Sharpe

A G N E S S H A R P E

Her unchecked anarchist tendencies are a danger to herself and the people around her.

Freshly arrived upon Wailing Rock, there already seem to be quite a few rumors about Agnes, travelling singer and newcomer to Wailing Rock. A woman of twenty-six, she has a few stories to tell and a trick just up her sleeves. She smokes too much and could use a decent dinner. She is not on any social media, and has a lot less money than she seems to. Always dresses in black and white. Owns a pair of crowns named Thought and Memmory, and currently lives and oversees The Academia.

Born 26 years ago at Salem, Massachusetts, during a blood moon. Her mother, Salma Balfour was an unsucessfull oil-painter with a taste for the finer things. She does not recall her father, but his name was Thomas Sharpe, an anarchist writer and philosopher, assassinated by his political opponents before Agnes was old enough to remember.

Salma owned a small trailer, and she would travel all over America with Agnes. An artist, she would often find employement amongst teathers, expositions, showhouses and casinos. Despite moving a lot, Agnes enjoyed her carefree way of living, and took interest on the arts herself - even if the lack of longlasting relationships left her somewhat detached. She learned literature and scripts from directors, dancing from ballerinas and drag queens, acting from actresses and opera singers and singing, some say, from Lana Del Rey herself when everyone still called her Elizabeth Grant.

Agnes' mother passed away in Hollywood after finishing her masterpiece; a painting of the Anarchist Bombings of 1919, leaving to her daughter their trailer and her credit debt. The piece is exposed now at the Kohn Gallery, and, unsurprisingly, none of the profit from her mother's art found her emptying wallet. She sold the trailer, then, and with what remained of the money, she bought herself a black ducati. Agnes was then seventeen.

Like her mother she travelled through America, trying to make it as a singer, though at that rate she has given up the dream altogether. Instead, she found herself with an exquisite talent for conning people and convincing them to do her bidding. Never at the same place for too long, Agnes has as few friends as she does posessions.

She suffered an accident five years ago in Las Vegas, having crashed her ducati on an animal. The beast is believed to have survived, since it was never found; and while her motorcycle was rendered completely useless, she only broke her wrist. Her last savings were spent on medical bills before she retorted to con-artistry, once more, to make enough to get by.

Agnes meets then, at Vegas, the man who would become her boyfriend, and then fiancée in the next two-years; Marcus Julius Draco. At some point, they begin to live together and settle under his expenses, and she receives a stable position as an Actress at a Local Theatre Company. Yet, a mysterious chain-of-events which ends with a serious quarrel between the pair breaks their relationship abruptly.

The woman has never stayed at one place for more than three months for the previous three years, and Marcus was never seen at Vegas again. Now she suddenly settles at Wailing Rock, making ties and connections she otherwise would not. With the arrival of her ex at the city, she is forced to make a stand.

For those on the investigative police, or simply people with the means to extensively search backgrounds.

Not on any social media. Surprisingly, has no bank account, or credit deals. Has a few passages on the police, though, surprisingly, all charges against her seem to have disappeared altogether. Her 2014's medical bill was paid in full on cash.

There are a few passages on her father, Thomas Sharpe, however. An union leader, strategist and ideological guide for the anarcho-comunist movement on America, he was brutally murdered by the time Agnes was three. Thomas was coated in honey and buried neck-deep in an anthill at the desert of Texas, and his body was so disfigured his funeral was a close-casket one. There were investigations on the family of the owner of the Bank of America, but after a large sum of money was donated to a certain FBI department, the case was shelved.
